Son won last night. Said he could work this one out. He said (Grandchildren plus 1) X a million" Daughter still thick from last night said i say (Grandchildren minus 1) X a million.

I have to go with her because sons might forgive, daughters never will.

PS Green&Red if my kids hate me after this you can share the blame

Kathleen over here multiplying things by a million makes me feel an awful lot better about my lowball answer...

I don't know what the actual answer is, so you could be absolutely right, but, eh, well, you know, let's just wait and see...

Let's just say we both went in extremely different directions...

Toto Wolfcastle

I was also unaware of the closest unique number rule.

Still, I chickened out of entering 50,000 at the last minute so I can't complain.

Electric Nitwit

So the smallest diamonds were worth €75,000 each in today's money? They must have been pretty big, smallest diamonds!

Kolido

I will pm tomorrows answer to you now Green, save me the headache in the morning.

I'd say these people had a very brief engagement which ended in the jeweller's shop with the buying of the ring.

Marriage is a scam made up by jewellers to sell wedding and engagement rings, and long term relationships are a scam to trap you into a mortgage guaranteeing you'll become a wage slave and continue lining the pockets of the rich. Why anyone would want any part of any of that nonsense is the big question...

Wake Up Sheeple!

I hope Greeny has the guinness book of records. You could get some fun ones from that.

The count didn’t do things by half.

In fairness he bought a boat capable of sailing from Pisa to Marseille with a crew of four maybe eight sailors and paid them for their time.

I don’t know where you’re buying your boats....

I'm in the middle of reading the book, it's awful btw!

I'm not sure that makes much difference tbh. I'd have as much chance of guessing the Pantone colour code for the planet Neptune as I would answering this correctly.

I spent a chunk of last summer dreading the gf discovering the TV series.

Conversely, I never really got into the tv series but I read the book and thought it was okay!

Watched the tv series, haven’t read the book so I hope the series kept to a similar time line.

Same as that...... also hope I've remembered the timeline even vaguely accurately.....

Pawwed Rig

I have no idea what anyone is talking about! Did I miss a series of significance?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I read the book because I worked a few days on the TV series and both were absolute sh*te.

The TV show paid well to be fair to them though.

Now if only I could remember the answer to the question...

Me too. Though was was a thread in AH I think called Paul Mescal ...or something along those lines.

Purgative

I never got into the TV series and didn't even know there was a book.


Will that help?

It's a science fiction/fantasy novel. Lots of time travel, stories played out over millenia

ShaneU

Haven't a scooby doo, all I heard about the show was there was a load of riding in it and I still didn't watch it!
